Leasing of Indian trust lands on Crow Reservation, Montana, with particular reference to competent leases

Description

The Crow Reservation contains 2,282,764 acres of land. Although the amount of allotted trust land on the reservation decreased from 1,690,400 acres in 1952 to 1,309,313 acres in 1961, it still constituted 57 percent of land within the reservation boundaries. The allotted land is owned by individuals but relatively little is used by the Indian owners. More than 90 percent is used by non-Indians. Non-Indians control the use of this land largely through two closely related circumstances: the ownership of key tracts, and the leasing of trust land. This report describes the leasing situation on the Crow Reservation as it existed around the first of March 1962. Supplement no. 1, included in this report, briefly discusses developments between March 1962 and March 1963 and brings certain statistical data current to March 1963.
